“Mr. Miles Creek, it is time for you to sign up the appropriate papers.” Caleb’s boosted voice through the speakers in the hall brought everyone’s attention back to the stage.Caleb ordered for the appropriate papers to be drafted in minutes and once he confirmed that the stipulations were accurate, had them moved to Miles who was still standing at the center of the stage.After what had happened, Miles had unknowingly gathered a lot of power. When Edgewood-Ave City had won the challenge, with Lincoln Park defeating Justin Fallon, the import channels had already been taken out of Caleb Autumn’s hands. In that situation, Dominion City had already lost the import channels to the regional raw materials that they owned. Also, when Miles challenged Lincoln Park, he didn’t receive any support from Caleb Autumn, while all of Dominion’s important and influential merchants denied him as well. Miles had to create an opportunity for himself by staking $60 billion, along with privately owned impo
“For now, I am not obligated to sell the import channels to anyone. First of all, the import channels were won with my ability, and that’s without the support of Dominion City. Most importantly though, I’m not an indigene of this city.” Miles spoke with a loud and clear voice, making everyone hear him. His voice was deep and sturdy, conveying his alluring masculinity. A lot of the women here were now lusting after him in secret despite seeing the ring wrapped around his marital fingerOnce Miles was done here, he walked towards Jonathan and Lesley under everyone’s gazes. “We should leave.”Jonathan could only smile proudly, seeing as Miles was taking this chance to let everyone here know that he was part of his family. He nodded. “Of course, my son-in-law, let’s go.” He got up from his seat.“Yes, let’s go, my dear brother-in-law!” Lesley shamelessly yelled these words out so everyone would know, as she ran forward to wrap her hands around Miles’s arm. “I’m ready to leave as well.”Jo
“Of course!” Lesley nodded her head resolutely. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Dad.”Lola smiled brightly, feeling her heartbeat brightly for her husband. Every day, she keeps finding out more amazing things about her husband, uncovering his enigmatic appeal one later at a time. It made her fall deeper in love with Miles Creek. Right now, she just wanted him near her so she could wrap her arms around his neck while confessing her love to him over and over again like they just met each other for the first time.But then Fiona sneered as she saw the happiness on her daughter’s face. “Don’t be too proud yet. Have you forgotten the part where Lesley mentioned that stupid husband of yours offending the Webber family?”“Oh, c’mon, Mom.” Lesley rolled her eyes. “Miles only dealt with Collins Webber, and that guy deserved everything Miles did to him.”“Shut up your rotten mouth!” Fiona suddenly got really mad at Lesley. “I see that you’ve started standing up for that useless excuse for
“My goodness, Miles, where the heck are you?!” Lola was angry and worried as she kept pacing the small of her living room, back and forth while her head was down on the phone in her hand. The phone was ringing with ‘My Husband’ as the caller ID. She had been trying to get in touch with the man ever since she got back home and tucked little Kelsey into bed. “Damn it, Miles. Why aren’t you picking up my calls.” The man’s phone had been switched on but he wasn’t picking up for some reason. This only made Lola’s heart fill up with greater worry, as she couldn’t help but wonder if Collins Webber had gotten to her husband. Her heart raced furiously as all sorts of negative scenarios filled her head.It was at this moment that Miles picked up his call and she could feel herself taking in a breath. She placed the phone over her ear. “Where the hell were you?! Do you have any idea how worried I was?! Why wouldn’t you pick up my call?!”There was a brief moment of silence from the other end of
“Oh shut up! You scumbag! I can’t believe you even have the audacity to claim that you could stand against someone like Collins Webber, or even the whole Webber family for that matter!” Fiona was yelling with fury while staring at her son-in-law with disgust. “Who do you think you are?! Do you think I would believe everything that went down at that antique fair was anything other than a hoax?! Oh please, you must be kidding! I don’t know how you fooled my husband and daughter, but your pathetic tricks won’t work on me! I know exactly what you are – a poverty-stricken piece of rag who would resort to fraudulent acts just to appear like he’s something important!”Jonathan was angry at the way his wife was behaving right now, but he loved her too much to yell at her. “Fiona, for goodness sake, will you calm down?”“No, let me get my piece out of my mind, Honey!” Fiona quickly rejected her husband’s attempt to calm her down. She resumed glaring hatefully at Miles. “Pathetic piece of trash
The next morning, Miles received a call from his father-in-law while he was having breakfast with his family.“Mr. Blaine, how may I help you this fine morning.” Miles immediately put the phone on the loudspeaker after Lola asked him to do so, as she also wanted to hear her father’s voice, especially after how things ended the previous.“Good morning, Miles. Is my daughter there? I would like to speak to her as well.” Jonathan’s voice carried hesitation, conveying how he was quite worried.“I’m here as well, Dad. What do you want to talk to Miles and me about?” Lola spoke up while she was arranging the light food on little Kelsey’s plate.“First of all, I would like to apologize on behalf of Fiona for the way both of you were treated at the beach party, especially you, Miles. I truly hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive her and her ignorance.”“It’s fine, Mr. Blaine.” Miles simply nodded his head with a smile. He had no intention of dwelling on Fiona’s insults. After all
The Webber family’s primary source of income is the goods they import in and out of the city through the various forms of shipment. However, what this family doesn’t let people know is the fact that they deal in these shipments in the first place. This is because these shipments only transport goods by smuggling them in and out of Dominion City. The Webber family was not only filled with cruel people related to blood but it was also filled with criminals as well.This is their main source of wealth which they flaunt around the city oppressively while claiming their position as undisputedly second to the four prominent families in the city. Therefore, it is only natural that not many people outside of the family knew about these illegal shipments in and out of the city. Most of these goods would never be legally allowed by the city authorities. In fact, the country itself would punish whoever was caught dealing in these kinds of shipments. Yet, the Webber family had managed to keep it
Two days after Miles gave his instructions to Eden, news began to travel through the city of Dominion. People could stop themselves from talking about the Webber family.“Hey! Did you hear that intense misfortune has been falling on the Webber family for the past few days now?! It’s like all their luck has suddenly gone down the drain or something.”“Oh my goodness! I actually heard about this as well. Just less than a week ago, they had been thriving. Now, their name is currently all over the media, and none of it has been good so far. It’s quite jarring actually.”“To be honest though, I feel no remorse whatsoever for their immense loss within these few days. That family has always been nothing but trouble. They are infamous for bullying the weak as much as they want. They humiliate and step over the heads of those they feel have lesser power than them.”“Well, Karma truly is a bitch. It’s about time they got a taste of defeat. They’ve spent years flaunting their wealth and supremac
